    The Humber Bridge Board has released its strategic plan for the next three years and hopes to increase the amount it can make from advertising and tourism.

    New sponsorship and naming rights deals are among the ideas being considered as part of the plan.

    But he says East Yorkshire and Hull residents are still likely to call the Humber Bridge by its original name even if it is rebranded.

    "I think people will still call it the Humber Bridge, whether it's the Wonga or Shopacheck or whatever. I don't think it will matter to residents," he says.

  8. £2.9bn TransPennine upgrade will spark 'major disruption'published at 15:28 British Summer Time 13 September 2018

    The letter from Network Rail to Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said there would be line closures for 39 weeks a year from 2020 until 2024.

    Huddersfield will also lose its rail link to both Leeds and Manchester for many months, according to the letter from Rob McIntosh at Network Rail.

    It warns the minister that access to the many tunnels and bridges along the routes "will be limited and difficult".

    Mr McIntosh says: "This level of ambition cannot be delivered without significant disruption during the course of the works."

    During the upgrade work journey times would increase by 15 to 25 minutes and "constrain capacity", according to Mr McIntosh.

    Network Rail would not comment on the leaked letter but said it had submitted "potential infrastructure options" to the Department for Transort (DfT) for consideration.

    A spokesperson for the DfT said it wanted to deliver the upgrade "as quickly as possible".

    "However, we also want to keep disruption to a minimum, which is why the upgrade will be delivered in phases from Spring 2019."
